Don't Splash How to Use Rope: Rescue Teammates Safely

How to Use the Rescue Rope

A missed jump can leave your teammate in the water with the monster approaching. This Don't Splash how to use rope guide explains how to attempt a rescue without putting yourself in danger. The Rescue Rope pulls fallen teammates up, so start by finding stable footing within reach.

Build your rescue around these steps:

1. Find a secure platform. Check where you can stand safely before approaching the fallen player. Avoid stopping on a sinking platform to plan the rescue.
2. Get within rope range. The rope has limited reach. Move to a closer safe foothold if your teammate is too far away.
3. Check the monster's position. Ask another teammate to create a distraction away from the rescue location or use a flare to briefly stun the threat.
4. Use the rope to pull your teammate up. Keep your attention on your own footing while performing the rescue.

Resist the urge to jump toward someone simply because they fell nearby. Losing the rescuer puts another player in the water and makes recovery harder.

Read the obstacles between you and the rescue position before moving. Sinking platforms descend when stepped on, while pushing platforms move your character in the direction shown by their floor arrows. Plan the next landing before stepping onto either. At a rotating bridge, watch for its end to approach the connecting path. For a moving platform, judge where it will be when you land rather than aiming only at its current position.

Give the Rescuer Space and Time

The monster reacts to splashes, which makes the area around a fallen teammate dangerous. Split responsibilities when your group has someone available to help: have a teammate handle the rope while others redirect or interrupt the monster.

Choose the supporting tool by its effect:

• Pebbles and Bottles: Create splashes to draw the monster toward another location. Throw them away from the rescuer and the route your group needs next.
• Wind-up toys: Move through the water while making noise, providing another distraction option.
• Flares: Briefly stun the monster, creating time to act.

Pick the distraction point before throwing. Sending a Bottle into the water beside the rescue platform draws attention toward the players you are trying to protect.

Leave room around the rescuer, too. Crowding the same landing spot makes positioning harder. Call out which platform offers a safe place to wait, especially when nearby footholds sink or move.

Rescue Rope Unlock and Upgrades

The Rescue Rope costs 30 Robux for a permanent reusable unlock. Max Rope Reach and Max Rescue Speed are separate purchases at 75 Robux each, with each setting its respective upgrade to level 3/3 permanently.

Purchase	Price	Effect
Rescue Rope	30 Robux	Permanently unlocks a reusable rope
Max Rope Reach	75 Robux	Permanently sets Rope Reach to level 3/3
Max Rescue Speed	75 Robux	Permanently sets Rescue Speed to level 3/3

You can also spend Coins earned from clearing rooms and escaping maps on lobby upgrades. Rope Reach increases rescue distance, while Rescue Speed makes pulling teammates up quicker.

Choose the upgrade that addresses the problem you keep encountering:

• Teammates fall beyond your reach: Increase Rope Reach.
• Rescues take too long while danger approaches: Increase Rescue Speed.

Keep positioning part of the plan after upgrading. Extra reach helps you access fallen teammates, and faster rescues reduce the time involved, but neither removes the need for secure footing and a clear view of the monster.

Your starting equipment capacity is three slots. The 4th Tool Slot costs 99 Robux, and the 5th Tool Slot costs 149 Robux. Plan your loadout around the rope and the distraction or stun tools your group intends to carry. Pebbles and Bottles can be purchased with Coins, and objects can also be picked up during a run. Coordinate equipment before entering so teammates handling distractions have the tools needed to support the rescue.
